Thirteen Winston-Salem Journal staffers are no longer Winston-Salem Journal staffers this morning as the Media-General-owned publication cut more positions yesterday from the employee rolls.My friend and former High Point Enterprise colleague Richard Craver inked this piece in today's issue, saying that including vacancies, 23 positions were eliminated out of a full-time staff of 260 at the paper. 85 part-time employees are also employed at the paper.
W-S Journal:
The bleeding at Media General sadly won't stop.It is the third job-cut announcement by the Journal since December, totaling 37 positions through eliminated positions and unfilled vacancies.
In recent weeks, the newspaper also has reduced the number of pages, eliminated weekly redelivery in the Winston-Salem area, and reduced vendor support and circulation-promotion spending. Employees have taken and will continue to take unpaid furlough days.
E.C. :)

From the outside looking in it appears MG keeps letting the rank and file go while the top line management remains largely in place.
Outside design is very nice..
